Thanks Davo. Glad you liked them
These are relatively rare models with attractive designs, and complicated and dynamic functions.
These factors drove me to snatch up THREE pieces at one point.
Some people might be put off by all that co-branding and commemoration (especially I find when the commemoration is of only for a year (such as the 50th, 60th, 70th anniversary, instead of a truly historical event).
Sometimes I feel that if GP just made a limited edition run of these models, WITHOUT the co-branding, they would be much more sought after.

Girard Perregaux "Scuderia Ferrari" Rattrapante Foudroyante in Rose Gold
Scuderia Ferrari Rattrapante Foudroyante in Rose Gold Dear all, "Amanico" has posted a photo of this watch in white metal. gp.watchprosite.com I have owned this watch at one point in time. It's a special piece and was introduced in 1999 to commemorate the...
Thanks for posting.......
I didn't know that you owned that watch before, I like it! Did GP make that model in a RG case with white dial? Tony
The white dial / rose gold version
? Good Morning Tony. funny that you brought it up! Yes I have owned the white dial version of the rose gold as well (and also a yellow gold version, still trying to find some the photos from my archive). Yep, I've owned all of those in the "hay days", you...
I agree. the movement is as beautifully finished as it is complex
I guess they really wanted to emphasize the Scuderia Ferrari commemoration, hence all the engravings on a solid back case. As much as I wanted to see the movement, I actually find the rounded back to be comfortable on the wrist, and an interesting design ...

One of the very rare co branded GP / SF which tortured me a lot! ...
What a Beauty! I loved it a lot in platinum, but the RG Black dial combo is awesome too. what a contrast! What an elegance! A winner, in my book. Best, and thanks for sharing. Nicolas
I share your passion...
Hi Jon, I totally share your passion for the GP S.F. Foudy. I myself picked up a White Gold version a short while ago and simply adore it. Attached are some fairly lousy pictures, but you get the idea! I have a hand-made tan 'gator on order which i cant w...
This is a very nice piece. Thanks for sharing
By the way, I didn't think they made a Titanium version of the SF Foudry? Jon
TI Foudy...
Hi Jon, There is indeed a Ti Foudroyante. Here's the one that got away!...
Sportier, but very nice, too...
I recently saw exactly the same in titnaium ..And I missed the sale for a few hours... Too bad! Best, Nicolas
Wow. that's quite amazing!
Learning something new everyday! Guess with this version, the bracelet is much more affordable.=) Jon (Z3)
I love it a lot like this, WG / Black Dial.
When I think that I almost forgot it... Thanks for these pics. Best, Nicolas
Thks for yr post, I was looking for the Foudroyante in Vintage 1945
at good price for no luck
A "sporty" variation - yellow gold with luminous markers and hands
Here are pictures of the yellow Gold version. This particular edition is limited to 250 pieces. In contrast with the dials for the rose gold versions, notice the markers are painted, and the hands are of a different, more pronounced shape. (both the hands...
I always loved these watches and wish
GP would create more 'classic' yet muscly chronos again...
The Rose Gold version is most striking
out of all it has nice colours combining with the gold and hands
I was not impressed...
With the instance of this model that I've played with. Winding manually felt VERY stiff and rough, like I was tearing the movement apart inside. On the other hand, the Foudroyante hand is always fun to watch spin..... A
idle hands...
Hi all, I had actually bought an original print ad of the SF from the early 2000's on the Bay. It was of 3x yellow gold models. I am no Photoshop wiz but did my best to spice it up and make a WG/YG/RG family I hope you like it! (I have a higher res versio...
Haha! That's actually pretty amazing!
Especially on the rose gold case! The rose gold (pink gold) for this GP piece is actually redder than other metals, and I think you definitely captured the spirit of it! Thanks! Jon
